Do you have any books with large birds in it? Or any good references of large bird wings? The basic anatomy of these look very off to me (I could be wrong) but would say look up some good Swma, Hawk, Eagle wings if you want to make tjis realistic! Hope you don;t mind the comments.

I definitely don't mind comments, especially from you, you've been nothing but helpful. This is just a quick concept sketch with no ref used. I killed my last two pieces with wings because of total lack of knowledge of the subject, even with ref photos. I found a good tutorial on wings and it helped greatly and I now understand what I was seeing. I will definitely use photo refs when I do this one. (on deck).

If you need any insight from a traditional archer, let me know. :)
Aside from that, reading the description of this piece makes me want to see it finished soon.
Also, sorry for the long time of silence. :')

I've been refining the sketch over the last couple weeks, tweaking the pose and and studying wings. I'm posting a more or less completed snow leopard pic this evening and then I'll be working on a cleaned up version of this pic right after. I'm anxious to get on this one. I'd like to have it for AC.

I bow hunt but I have only used old tech compounds so any pointers on the use of traditional long bows would be appreciated. I want to do some rather fancy detailing on the bow, size permitting. It will be about 14" x 21" thanks to the wing span.

I have a rather lengthy bio that I have to go with her or maybe more like a short story. I should be able to post the cleaned up version tomorrow. I'd love to have color on her this weekend. :)

Well, whenever you post a newer version of her is fine, I'd love to see any process on this piece, alone for the sake of the subject you chose. :)
I really am curious how it will turn out in the end. :)

Rev six is posted.:)

Yay. :D
